Features many remastered tracks, b-sides, demos and outtakes, new liner notes by John Harris and unseen pictures by Mitch Ikeda. Also included is two brand new remixes of the lead track '1985' by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and sometime collaborator Welsh artist Gwenno. Described by Nicky Wire as \"our most estranged album of all\" the record came at a time when the band were reflecting on what they had become and what they could be. The band looked to the music they had liked when they were young for inspiration, New Order circa 'Low Life', Prefab Sprout 'Steve McQueen', Thomas Dolby 'The Flat Earth', early Simple Minds, and the kind of cerebral electronic pop that dominated the early-to-mid 1980s. Wire said at the time \"The main lyrical themes are death and solitude and ghosts. Being haunted by history and being haunted by your own past.\" James Dean Bradfield commented \"I loved making Lifeblood, because it was interesting. I loved chasing these other versions of what we were trying to do.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Love of Richard Nixon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Empty Souls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Song for Departure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Live to Fall Asleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e To Repel Ghosts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Emily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Glasnost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Always \/ Never\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Solitude Sometimes Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fragments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cardiff Afterlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Askew Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everything Will Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Everyone Knows \/ Nobody Cares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Voodoo Polaroids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Quarantine (In My Place of)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e All Alone Here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dying Breeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Litany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Failure Bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Jubilees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Antarctic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Soulmates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1985 (Steven Wilson Extended Eighties Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1985 (Gwenno Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1985 (Alternate Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 1985 (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Love of Richard Nixon (Drum Machine Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Love of Richard Nixon (Live Rehearsal Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Song for Departure (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Live to Fall Asleep (Cassette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e To Repel Ghosts (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Emily (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Solitude Sometimes Is (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fragments (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cardiff Afterlife (Cassette)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cardiff Afterlife (Demo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Solitude Sometimes Is (Tony Visconti Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Emily (Tony Visconti Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cardiff Afterlife (Tony Visconti Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Empty Souls (Live at BBC Maida Vale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Love of Richard Nixon (Live at BBC Maida Vale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Live to Fall Asleep (Live at BBC Maida Vale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Song for Departure (Live at BBC Maida Vale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fragments (Live at BBC Maida Vale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522150666514,"sku":"196588439025","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/manic-street-preachers-lifeblood-20-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
